Women's sexual distress is often complicated by a combination of physical, psychological, and relational factors. Many women experience a cycle of dysfunction that affects not only their sexual health but also their overall quality of life and emotional well-being. The aim of this study was to determine the psychometric properties of the revised Female sexual distress scale (FSDS-R) among Iranian couples. During a methodological study conducted from April to July 2024, 400 Iranian couples were chosen using a convenience sampling method. The FSDS-R was translated and its psychometric properties were assessed through tests of construct validity, including exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, convergent validity, and divergent validity. Additionally, the study examined the scale's internal consistency to confirm its reliability. The mean age of the participants was 37.95 (SD = 8.96) years. An exploratory factor analysis revealed two factors that accounted for 39.24% of the variance in 13 items. The confirmatory factor analysis confirmed that the data fit the model. The internal consistency for all factors was deemed acceptable, indicating good reliability and consistency in the constructs. The Persian version of the FSDS-R scale, with 13 items representing 39.24% of the variance, is a reliable and valid scale for measuring sexual distress in Iranian couples. This instrument can help healthcare programs identify and educate couples to reduce distress.
女性的性困扰往往因身体、心理和人际关系等多种因素交织而变得复杂。许多女性经历着功能障碍的循环，这不仅影响她们的性健康，还影响她们的整体生活质量和情感幸福感。本研究的目的是确定修订后的女性性困扰量表（FSDS-R）在伊朗夫妇中的心理测量特性。在2024年4月至7月进行的一项方法学研究中，采用便利抽样法选取了400对伊朗夫妇。对FSDS-R进行了翻译，并通过结构效度测试评估其心理测量特性，包括探索性和验证性因素分析、收敛效度和区分效度。此外，该研究还检验了量表的内部一致性以确认其可靠性。参与者的平均年龄为37.95岁（标准差 = 8.96）。探索性因素分析揭示了两个因素，这两个因素解释了13个项目中39.24%的方差。验证性因素分析证实数据符合模型。所有因素的内部一致性被认为是可接受的，表明这些结构具有良好的可靠性和一致性。FSDS-R量表的波斯语版本，包含13个项目，解释了39.24%的方差，是测量伊朗夫妇性困扰的可靠且有效的量表。该工具可帮助医疗保健项目识别并教育夫妇以减轻困扰。
